Inordinate delay v. Interim injunction

In a recent High Court decision involving a dispute between two prominent air carriers in Malaysia, the plaintiff, who is suing for trademark infringement, passing off and, amongst others, applied for an interim injunction against the Defendant approximately seven and a half months into the suit. The Defendant opposed it on grounds of inordinate delay. The High Court held that the delay per se did not defeat the Plaintiff’s application for an interim injunction, as there were credible explanations.
